The rural past and growing future of Vero Beach South
Vero Beach South, known to locals as South Vero, encompasses a vast portion of the mainland along Florida's intracoastal waterway, just south of Vero Beach proper. With nearly 30,000 residents, this area that was once only cow pastures now has pockets of residential communities, popular shopping areas and the well-known attraction McKee Botanical Gardens. "South Vero has an old reputation for not being the nicest part of town, which isn't true, certainly not anymore. You just need to know where to look," says South Vero resident Eric Attio, a Realtor with Keller Williams Realty of VB. "There might be smaller homes and dirt roads, but you can find gorgeous properties." South Vero attracts many retirees, but many residents are employed in the healthcare and food industries or the Indian River County School District.

Midcentury ranch homes and Spanish Revival styles
South Vero contains some of the oldest properties in Vero Beach, many built between 1950 and 1980. The median price for single-family homes is around $415,000, on par with the national median. Ranch-style homes and simple, minimal traditional designs are typical for this era, and many sell between $250,000 and $350,000. South Vero still has plenty of open land, and new builds have steadily increased since the early 21st century. Newer houses, often inspired by Mediterranean or Spanish architecture, typically sell for $400,000 to $600,000. Many homebuyers get flood insurance as a safeguard and invest in hurricane-rated windows and garage doors.
